PLACE NAMES,
LISTING AND COMMENTARY
ASSOCIATED WITH ENGLISH SYDNORS
AND THEIR KIN
DISCUSSION: It
has been very helpful to track the events which took place in particular
parishes, not only for the Sydnors, but for their kin.
This helpful device has been included for the pleasure of the readers who
want to make an armchair tour of England with their atlas or who want to
actually visit the sites themselves. The
events may be shown under several headings with a notation showing other places
to look.
For
an invaluable listing of Kent place names, see The Place Names of Kent, Judith Glover (B. T. Batford, London,
1976).
For
an helpful listing of Suffolk placenames, see History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Suffolk, . . ., William White
(1844).
For
a listing of English parishes, see Phillimore’s
Atlas and Index of Parish Registers, ed. Cecil R. Humphrey-Smith (Phillimore
& Co., Ltd., Chichester, Sussex, 1995).
This important resource also shows the status of the listing of the birth
and marriage registers in the International Genealogical Index of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS).
For
the comprehensive listing of English place names used on British maps, see Index
to the Ordnance Survey Maps.
For
the helpful commentary of English cities, towns and parishes (including the
dedications of the churches and the nearby manors and communities), see any of
